01/07/2025 Dear Hiring Manager at NQual, I am excited to apply for the Quality Assurance role at NQual, confident that my extensive experience and strong regulatory knowledge make me a perfect fit. With over 17 years in quality assurance, apprenticeship, further, and higher education environments, I have developed and implemented robust quality frameworks, overseen regulatory compliance, and led continuous improvement initiatives aligned with Ofqual, Department for Education, and Skills England standards. In my current role as Higher Education Quality Improvement/Standards Manager at Newcastle College University Centre, I lead a team responsible for quality assurance across over 3,000 students, including partnership learners. I chair academic integrity panels, develop institutional policies, and coordinate with governance bodies and employers to maintain inspection readiness and promote excellence. This experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of regulatory engagement, internal and external audits, and quality, both internal and external risk management. Previously, I have successfully managed assessment oversight, ensuring the integrity, validity, and reliability of assessments through standardisation, internal moderation, and external verification processes. I have worked collaboratively with internal teams and external centres to maintain high standards and deliver effective staff training and development programmes, ensuring continuous quality enhancement. I am particularly drawn to this role because of NQual s commitment to quality and regulatory excellence, and I am eager to contribute my skills in quality assurance frameworks, risk management, and stakeholder engagement to your team. I am confident my experience and passion for quality would make a meaningful impact. I have just completed my Level 5 Leadership and Quality Management. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can support NQual s mission and quality objectives. Yours sincerely Saran Golightly 07976 376 679
